The Orlando Magic were fined $25,000 by the NBA on Thursday for violating the league's injury reporting rules.

Per the NBA, the Magic failed to disclose the game availability status of guard Anthony Black prior to Monday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. Black was listed as 'out' in the initial injury report and later played in the game.

Black, 22, scored 14 points in 15 minutes during the Magic's 123-107 victory over the Pistons.

The third-year player is averaging 15.1 points, 3.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 62 games (40 starts) this season.
